Do I need anything besides an account to be able to book shipments with Schipt Online?

With an account in Schipt Online you are already a good way to go! To book freight, you need to have transport agreements with the carriers you want to use. If you already have carriers you work with, you often already have everything you need. If you like to add a new carrier, you simply contact them to get started. 

When you're ready to get started, Schipt Online guides you step by step through the activation process and makes sure you get all the information you need.

You also need to download Schipt Client to manage integrations and print shipping documents. Make sure you have permission to install software and that your computer is connected to the laser or label printer you want to use.

A complete guide on how to get started can be found here.
